Concept and 7 Sentence Story

Concept Statement:

Everyone plays an important role, and, together, we have the ability to bring color and life into our world.

2. On this journey, the glass shard creature faces obstacles that block his way to the sculpture and others that cause him physical harm.

3. The glass shard creature loses a vital piece of his being on the treacherous journey.

4. The creature manages to reach the glass sculpture without this seemingly vital piece of himself.

5. He climbs to the top of the sculpture, searching for the perfect place to set himself down before sunset.

6. He reaches the eye of the sculpture just before the sun is setting, and, without the shard he used to have, the sun catches him at the right angle to create a prism.

7. The world is suddenly flooded with color and a beautiful sunset.

I really love how your story ended and I think you have a great start. I do wish there was a little more information about the types of obstacles that he must face. Also, how do we know that he is going to the sculpture??? Does he pull out a map or have a flashback/thought about going? Very nice idea and I think it has a good ending :D.

After reading what you wrote. I am thinking that this story will be too hard to animate. Are you going to really animate a world? How are you going to demonstrate it was made by his peers?

The idea is good, but ideas need to be tuned down because there are certain things we can't animate with the time we have.

there is a good premise to the story, but things need to be explained differently so you don't have to animate so much.

I really like the ending with everything going from black and white to extreme color. I wasn't sure if the glass shard used to be a part of the sculpture and fell off because if it was like that then I think it would make it more interesting. On the other hand, I didn't get what piece of his being or whatever he loses and how does he get it back. As for difficulty I think you have a story that if you keep it very simple you can create a great animation but stepping outside of keeping things plain and simple you might run into to difficult animation. Last but not least thinking of how you are going to portray the colors and there awesomeness is going to be a important factor.
